  1. The real state deficit it is unknown...why? because the sate of new york (and every other state, municipality, federal government and even financial institutions) do what is known as sweep. Sweep: when money is taking from another source to pay something else (i.e. taking money from social security to pay another debt) ...this practice is so widespread that the state is unable to pin down how much the deficit is...that is why some people in albany are proposing to eliminate that practice and write in the accounting books events when they do happen .....
